Starlight

The dogs are in the night sky
Following the plough
And Orion watches Artemis load her arrows
On the string of her bow
And the deer they are bounding
From Hesperides' white cow
Who is pulling us all over
The line separating then from now

This world keeps on spinning
The night sky is sewn
Like a spiders web beginning
From the moment it is grown
Eight legged star newly born
Twinkling like the eye
Of a Ram with his horn
Radiant as a jewel
In the crown freshly torn
From the new king
Who will rule forever

And these shooting stars
Keep throwing their
Weight around the world
Streaks of light of goodness
Here today gone tomorrow
Against the vast blackness of existence
We are immemorably hurled
Well its one drink to today
And one to the future

And they say the night is darkest before the dawn
Just like our love baby in the worst storm
Rocking like a good ship
On destiny's waves
When we kiss our lips
We become love's slaves
And they say the night is darkest
Right before the dawn
